What I learned from this week is by reflecting on my possibilities of all the ideas I have for my action inquiry topics, I learned that action research involves a strategic action that must be thought out. Strategic action is a deliberate and planned attempt to solve a particular problem or set of problems using a coherent, systematic and rigorous methodology. To me, any education action inquiry must be a deliberate and planned attempt to improve student achievement and school culture. With that in mind, don't hesitate to tackle tough issues or problems that might not be in your "comfort zone." I came up with several action inquiry topics and of course decided to go with the one I am most comfortable with. After discussing the topic with two principal friends of mine and seek their input, I came to the realization that if I am to be an effective school leader, I need to tackle topics that I might not be comfortable with.
Not only had I learned about what it takes to carry out an action inquiry, I also learned about the beneficial tangent that comes from reflective practice when couple with my action research. I feel reflective practice can be seen as the specific application of experiential learning to activities carried out as part of one’s profession or job.
